I agree, too (though the project to make Bacula upgrade its clients and SDs itself would surely be fun). > But while everybody mentions these deployment systems I though we should > probably document HOW to use them.

(I could contribute the way I > upgrade my Win32 clients with OCS Inventory NG.) Having a manual section describing the different ways to keep the software up to date would be a valuable thing. Even if we or Kern or whoever decides that auto-upgrading Bacula would be implemented such a manual section would hold the needed knowledge to implement it. I think if some people with reasonable experience put their schemes into the wiki that would be a good start.
